"I am so glad I started making my own laundry soap! Everything really does smell so much cleaner, and the dinginess from our hard water is coming out of our clothes. It is frightening to read the chemicals included in the expensive store bought detergents. I'm sticking with this method. Only takes a few minutes to make a batch that lasts months!"

"This is absolutely wonderful for my husband who is allergic to most laundry soap. We've been using this for months now, and he hasn't had any problems. Saved us a ton on hypoallergenic detergent!"

"I've always been a Tide, Gain type of person. I started using this recipe three years ago. The basis recipe is great, I do add oxiclean, purex crystals,or dry bleach to some of my batches. It's safe in all types of washers. I also use this for a all purpose cleaner around the house. You won't regret this product and the smell is so clean. As you use this cleaner you'll find your clothes will be much cleaner then anything on the market can give you. For whites to get whiter you can also add 1/2 cup dry dishwasher soap to your laundry for a great booster. Don't hesitate to start, I have several friends and co workers that are now making their own laundry soap."

" I really enjoyed using this homemade laundry soap. The laundry is so clean smelling. As a matter of fact my friends who don't want to make their laundry soap themselves, pay me to make it for them. That's how much this soap is liked! Thanks again!"

"My wife and I had been using FOCA detergent since that was our only option to use something that did not have harsh chemicals. We found Lehmans through a friend of ours and when we saw this, make your own detergent, we took the risk and we are 110% satisfied with our choice. It gets your clothes oh so clean, even your whites get cleaner and you are not putting bad chemicals in the ground to boot. I will tell you, when you look at this kit you think it does not seem like a lot of detergent like I did, the kit will make many many many batches of detergent from the enclosed receipe. Within minutes you have made about 2 gallons of GREAT smelling washing detergent! We use 1/2 cup in most loads and it works great and in heavy soiled clothes we use 1 cup. It does not foam up with lots of bubbles but the bubbles isn't what cleans the clothes. Works great in top load and front loading machines as we have used it in both types of machines at our house and our childrens house. We are telling everyone we know about Lehmans now and everyone who has tried our soap are sold on it. Thank you Lehmans for offering such a great laundry soap that is good for our mother earth at such a great price! Tom and Kathy"

"The washing soda, borax & fels naptha in this kit lasted me from 12/11/2010 to 3/14/2013.
That is amazing!!! This did laundry for two people & 1/2 of the time a 3rd person for all of that time. If you are looking for a way to save money this works! "

"It doesn't matter if I use my wringer and hang to dry or if I use my water-miser front loader in the winter..the clothes just come out clean and not perfumy. This is a good kit to get started with."

"We love this soap and the kids enjoy making it. We use a hand-crank washer and the clothes smell and feel clean. I feel comfortable in dumping the soapy water on the lawn (seems to like it). Use about 1/2 cup per load. Every time I make a double batch for my in-laws. We all use it on rags for cleaning purposes, too (toilet and sink area). We sometimes add in vinegar to the load for wet items that have gone wrong (kids leaving wet socks in forgotten places). Other than that, we love having one more product that we can use without supporting large retailers."
